J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris plus d'une semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Arista Networks (Santa Clara, CA) en juil. 2012
Entretien
Hiring is a two-step process with a first screening round consisting of programming and quiz type exercises. If you clear it, you will be called for a second round where more of design and system level questions will be asked. If the interview goes the full distance the chances of making an offer are very high, unless there is some issue with references.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Frankly most questions were testing the basics of areas that I was familiar with. The last interview did get into depth of details but nothing scary in my opinion.
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Arista Networks en juin 2026
Entretien
Pros:
Great initial approach – the recruiter thoroughly checked my GitHub profile and projects before the interview, which is very uncommon and shows they do their homework.
Cons:
A major mismatch between the job description ("Software Engineer C++") and the actual interview reality. The technical stage on CoderPad strictly tests bare-metal C98 skills: raw pointers, manual bitwise operations, and packing bytes into 64-bit integers. If you are accustomed to modern C++ (RAII, templates, safe memory management), this will feel like a massive step backward. Additionally, the time expectations for live low-level bit-shifting were unrealistic, to the point where the interviewer started solving the task themselves.
Interview was kind and not stressful, just minor mismatch of naming

Pretty good, not too complicated, was comfortable. Mostly LC questions, and was easy enough that you should be able to do it after doing NC150. good luck for the interview!
Starts with online test, then three rounds of technical interviews follow.
Not a lot of discussion, just go straight to the technical challenges which have to be solved in time
